Sorry if I'm so embarrassing, but I know that you need a turbo for a BoV. The STi family usually uses BoV, so I'm curious if it is common for 370 owners to have turbos and if so, is it common for the people to install BoV. When they do, what gains do we get? I admit I'm not smart in engines and I was misleading now that I read over my posts. I appreciate the help from people who did try to help and for the others sorry if I seem retarded

Turbo = BOV

if you put a turbo on a car, put on a BOV, thems the rules

you don't get gains from a BOV, you get to keep your motor longer

A blowoff valve is a pressure release system present in turbocharged engines. Its purpose is to prevent compressor surge, and reduce wear on the turbocharger and engine. Blow off valves (BOV) relieve the damaging effects of compressor "surge loading" by allowing the compressed air to vent to atmosphere.

It seems that a lot of people don't understand what the requirements or uses of particular components are used for on turbo-charged vehicles. When someone with very little knowledge of the basic mechanics of "tuned" cars, such as the OP, purchases a new car, they buy aftermarket products thats listed on someone's sig. without even knowing why or even the function of the item.

Other than that, welcome to the Z family! Make sure you read, read, and read before asking questions that have been asked a bazillion times before

no, it's not common for 370 owners to have turbos, we just barely got the turbo kits out there.

Entertaining indeed! You don't live too far from me. I'm in Palos Verdes. We should get together sometime. You can rip on me for not having a Nismo

What some people fail to see the humor in when it comes to the Mitsu/Subi rivalry is that goes waaaay back to WRC days and it's roots. But unless you owned one (or cared) you wouldn't get it.
